It’s pumpkin season, which is one type of a squash!! That makes it squash season. Butternut squash has been my favorite ever since I ate butternut squash soup. It’s delicious!! I’ll post a recipe in another post!! This time, I made a squash & beets salad. It’s the perfect salad with fall colors!!

Everyone is always excited to visit New York, the Big Apple, the City of Dreams, the City of Fashion and the City of Lights. I’ve been to NYC a few times, and every trip has been as if I’m visiting for the very first time. There are so many things about New York that I love!! This time I had the opportunity to explore quite a few restaurants. Here are my favorite 5 that are a MUST visit (for the food, atmosphere, and of course Instagram posts).

I always need a little something sweet after every meal. I try to look for healthy/natural sweets. This time I decided to make my own dessert, a date bar. I researched a few “easy” date bar recipes, but I didn’t have all of the required ingredients at home. So, I decided to give it a little twist, and make my own recipe. It’s really easy! Give it a try, and let me know how you like it!
